Career Education Corporation Part 5: Teaching with laptops

My boss summoned me to his office. I could feel an opportunity preparing to present itself.

The school bought laptops for one classroom instead of desktops. This was as an experiment. The laptops would make the classroom mobile if they could endure two classes back to back without being plugged in. Eight hours of continues use. An external battery was attached.

The request was made for me to give these laptops a try. In the following semester I would teach two classes back to back with the laptops. I gladly took on the assignment.

Part of my thinking at this time was to become indespinsable to the school.  This indespinsablity was tied to job security.
